SsangYong XAVL at Geneva motorshow 2017

SsangYong XAVL is ideal for those who wish to combine the elements of greater convenience and practicality when it comes to choosing a vehicle. It was presented at 2017 Geneva Motor Show and is expected to hit the markets within a few years. It can fit in seven passengers with still enough room remaining to move around.

The spacious interiors are accompanied by a tough looking exterior which makes the car more appealing to the buyers. With a length of 4630mm, width 1866mm, height 1640mm and wheelbase which is 2775mm it does look like a promising addition to the market. Moreover, the seats inside the car can individually slide in and out as per requirement, allowing you to optimise the experience of your journey.

The versatility of SsangYong XAVL is not just limited to its interiors. It offers the choice between 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol or 1.6-litre diesel engines. Also, the vehicle comes with both manual and automatic transmissions, which makes it a feasible option for a much wider range of drivers. However, it only offers two-wheel drive availability instead of a four wheel one unlike most of the similar cars. The CEO has announced that four-wheel drive will be launched alongside the five-seat version to follow.

To increase the entertainment value, a 10.25-inch infotainment display has been installed which also has a Wi-Fi hotspot. What is even more intriguing for tech savvy people, in particular, is the fact that almost every function including the seat navigation, heating, etc. can be controlled with a Smartphone. XAVL in the name is the acronym for ‘eXciting Authentic Vehicle Long SUV’. While it might not be the most creative choice of words, it does suggest that the makers wanted to make sure you do not mistake this car for your regular SUV.
